Scrapbook Steals April Blog Hop

WELCOME to the April SCRAPBOOKSTEALS blog hop!!
Today's steal is so AMAZING!!! 
MY MIND'S EYE MISS CAROLINE

I was overjoyed to receive a pad of MISS CAROLINE DILLY DALLY in the mail from the Steal Network to create with! It's so fun and cute too. 
I quickly dug into the paper and began by covering an over sized clothespin. I added some ink and flowers and voila-a recipe holder that's perfect for my kitchen.
Next, I used a mix of the papers to make flowers for this batch of ATCs. Sweet, little spring treasures to trade with friends. I love the wood grain papers that come with this set. The red polka-dotted paper made me swoon too.

And finally, I made this sweet little gift basket to be filled with goodies for a friend. I hope you enjoyed this morning's eye candy and don't forget to leave comments along the way to be entered to win a 
$20.00 gift certificate

  84. I'm loving the gift basket . . . maybe I could scraplift it and use it as a "May Day" basket. Hmm, something to think about. As for the other 2 projects, I love both of them. The clothespin/recipe holder would makes a great gift idea and the ATCs . . well, they are also going into my "scraplift" pile. Thanks so much for sharing! (I've also became a follower . . . looking forward to seeing more.)
